We’re not your average recruiters. We’re search specialists with decades of experience finding the right people for roles that matter.
We run a focused, targeted search to find the best match for your business stage, team, and goals.

Zespri International
Zespri are a Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, and global success story. The brand has become globally significant and synonymous with kiwifruit and a huge part of their success comes from the amazing team they have built in their head office, Mt Maunganui, Tauranga. As a global business of scale, Zespri’s people skill needs have outgrown the local area, meaning they occasionally need support with gnarly technical roles. Moxie have been proud recruitment partners of Zespri’s for several years, filling many niche Analytical, Financial, Business Partnering and Project positions.

"Carleen was able to understand our specific vision for the role rather than simply running a generic approach based on similar roles and industries. This included identifying and challenging some of the flaws in out thinking to ensure there would be no compromise to matching the perfect candidate to our role. We were quickly connected with a clear contender for our “perfect fit” candidate along with securing a strong shortlist of other back up applicants."
Scott
General Manager, Finance & Commercial
I recently had an exceptional experience working with Moxie as a candidate for an executive search role. From the first interaction Carleen demonstrated professionalism, deep industry knowledge and a genuine commitment to understanding my career aspirations. What stood out most was Carleen's dedication to supporting me throughout the entire process, from the initial interviews to negotiation and final placement. Carleen provided valuable insights, coaching and specific feedback which gave me confidence to be successful in securing the role. I highly recommend Moxie as an executive search specialist.
